Communication

Email is one of the primary methods of communicating within the AJR community. The AJR community hosts several e-mail lists, each with a different function. For the wider AJR community, which includes Administration, Faculty and Alumni who subscribe, there is the AJR-Yahoo list. To subscribe, go to http://www.onelist.com/community/AJR and click on the “join” button. The Gemah list is sent out weekly by our Gemah chair, Peg Kershenbaum. To submit information for the list or to subscribe, contact Peg at pkersh@optonline.net. For current students only, there is the Student Association list. Only student-related e-mails should be sent to this list. Examples include questions regarding classes, programs, administration/faculty, and Student Association committees. Questions regarding housing, carpooling and information/resources to help students become better Rabbis/Cantors are also appropriate. To send material for this list, or to subscribe (or withdraw) from this list, contact Sharon Ballan at ajrstudentassoc@ebacknet.net. It is important to note that the Administration does not have access to this list and, therefore, will not be aware of issues being raised on this list.

When issues arise involving multiple students, or students in general, that require communication with the administration, the Student Association appoints two liaisons ‘ one for cantorial students and one for rabbinical students. While some issues of this type are raised at Student Association meetings, often these issues arise at other times. To bring issues of this type (not a problem involving a specific student) to the attention of the liaisons, contact Meredith Greenberg, the cantorial liaison at meriberig@yahoo.com or Kathy Novick, the rabbinical liaison at knovick516@aol.com.
